Bobby Shmurda Pleads Guilty To Murder And Drug Charges And Is Facing At Least 3 and 1/2 More Years In Prison

Bobby Shmurda

Brooklyn born Miami rapper, Bobby Shmurda,
real name Ackquille Pollard, famous for the 2015 hit “Hot
Nig*a” has pled guilty to conspiracy to commit murder.
Shmurda has agreed to a 7-year prison plea deal. Sony Music
recording artist Shmurda has already served nearly 2-years at
Riker’s Island jail in New York and with good behavior could
be released in 3 and ½ years.

Bobby Shmurda in court

Shmurda was facing a life sentence, after
a government sting caught him and members of his GS9 street
gang engaging in a host of criminal behavior. GS9 are
affiliated with the Crips street gang of Los Angeles (G
Stone Crips). Shmurda and GS9 were formally accused in court
papers of drug trafficking and the murder of a rival gang
member. Shmurda and his friends need to do their time, try
to stay out of trouble while incarcerated, come out of
prison and live clean lives.

Side Bar: People, leave
that life of crime alone. Sooner or later it will catch up
to you in some form or another.
It is not worth it.
